I do agree (with reservations)there should be a waiting period to allow the ATF to do background checks... (I used to sell guns, and have seen the background check catch wanted criminals when they tried to purchase a gun), and I agree they should be registered, or at least licensed(also with reservations). That is one way perpertrators of crimes can be caught, (although most crimes are committed with stolen and/or unrtegistered guns) there are still a few who use their own legally registered weapons, and determining ownership often helps with the apprehending and conviction of criminals.
Other than those two exceptions, I don't agree with Obama on any of those things.
We have nearly none of that in Virginia. The ATF should be disbanded and no agent should be allowed to ever work for law enforcement again. This is a thug organization that is responsible for numerous rights violations and killing innocent citizens.
Background checks take only minutes. I bought my gun at a gun show and despite all this nonsense about the "gun show loophole," I went through a background check that took less than five minutes.
There is no gun registration in Virginia and it is a peaceful place. Where you see high crime rates is in no-gun zones like the Springfield Mall. And when your gun is on file with police, they can use the very fact that you have "too many guns" to be suspicious of you. At any rate, criminals would never register their guns, so it would be useless in catching them. I can't think of any instances where gun owners with registered guns committed a crime. There are many instances of people being murdered during some arbitrary waiting period. When a woman fears for her life from some ex, she doesn't have the time to wait for the red tape to be cleared. She might need that gun the minute she steps out of the gun shop.
I'm thinking red, Tonto. Virginia was a slave/segregation state and that 1/3 of Democrats who have negative feelings about blacks is going to be a strong factor.

So what do you think LR? Is VA going blue or red? With all the NRA ads will it work?
Lone Ranger, my thoughts and experiences exactly.
